Information
from the California Department of Education on local schools

The Academic
Performance Index (API), the cornerstone of the states Public
Schools Accountability Act of 1999, is an achievement gauge for
California public schools based on standardized test results. The
index assigns a score for each campus, ranging from a low of 200
to a high of 1,000, with 800 as the long-term performance target.
Though its changed over the years, API scores in 2009-2010
were primarily calculated using results of the states Standardized
Testing and Reporting Program (STAR) and from the California High
School Exit Examination (CAHSEE). Click on any school below for
